Jeff Daniels plays an arrogant, headstrong Atlanta real estate mogul who finds himself in a bankruptcy battle with his bank. In a subplot, his secretary’s husband is jailed for assaulting a police officer. These 2 plots play out simultaneously to add to the soap opera elements. Famed TV writer David E. Kelley has penned the series, so you can expect drama, but this is really about Daniels’ character and his conflicts with one of the finance officers (Tom Pelphrey). They both turn in over-the-top performances with Daniels handily winning most intolerable. Even with him trying so hard, the series never ignites any intensity. It just rolls along with continuous mildly angry encounters. This is the kind of bland logarithmic stuff that streamers continually thrust upon viewers. Not bad but not great. (6 one-hour eps)
